Heavenly Snow Mountains, Snow City.
This used to be the home of the Heavenly Snow Clan. Since Ye Chen killed Xue Jiuyin, the Heavenly Snow Clan had been destroyed, and the entire city had become uninhabited.
Although only a year had passed, this place was no longer as prosperous as before. Only the decaying tall city walls silently told of the great power that the Heavenly Snow Clan had once possessed.
Boom!
Snow City shook violently. Deep underground, a young man suddenly shot up into the sky. Scorching flames instantly shrouded the void. Clouds of fire rolled, making the entire city extremely hot.
"As expected of the young master. In just a few months, he has made another breakthrough and successfully reached the seventh level of Profound Meaning of Fire."
The moment this figure appeared, more than a dozen figures swept over from all directions of Snow City.
These figures were not weak. They had all stepped into the Saint Plane. The young man they surrounded had dark red hair and a broken blade on his back. His entire body was filled with a violent aura, like a ball of scorching flames.
This person was the strongest genius of the Fire God Clan — Yan Mo.
Now, his aura was not any weaker than before. In fact, it had become even stronger. He glanced around, but there was no joy after his breakthrough. Instead, he exuded a cold aura. He said, "Where is Yan Qingfeng?"
"Young master, just yesterday, Yan Qingfeng left Snow City, along with Hua Lang and the others of the Sun God Clan, and went to Sky Mountain. I heard that they wanted to capture a few people alive and use them to threaten Nether Moon City," a cultivator of the Fifth Heaven of the Saint Plane from the Fire God Clan hurriedly said.
"Threaten?"
Yan Mo frowned and said disdainfully, "Only a despicable person like Qiu Yehan could think of such a despicable trick. If it were not for my father's orders, I would not have bothered to associate myself with him."
"Young master, you are right."
The person nodded repeatedly and continued, "However, I heard that those people are inextricably linked to Ye Chen. Young master, you must know that Ye Chen's name has been very famous recently. I heard that he has obtained many treasures in the Wood Flower Continent. His strength must have improved by leaps and bounds. That is why Qiu Yehan thought of such a method."
"Shut up!"
As soon as that person's voice fell, Yan Mo's entire body emitted a violent aura without any warning. His shout made all the experts of the Fire God Tribe tremble and kneel down.
"No matter how many treasures Ye Chen obtained, so what? With my current strength, killing him is as easy as chopping vegetables. If you mention this person in front of me again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Moreover, I came to the Yuehua Continent this time to take his life. I swear to use the Fiery Demon Blade in my hand to cut off his head and wash away the humiliation I suffered."
Yan Mo's tone was ice-cold. Every word of his was filled with endless hatred.
Back then in the Heavenly Blood Sacred Mansion, Yan Mo was so domineering and awe-inspiring, but he had lost to Ye Chen several times. He had even almost been killed by Ye Chen and was buried forever in the Sea of Death.
As the strongest genius of the Fire God Tribe, Yan Mo's ego was extremely strong. After losing to Ye Chen, he cultivated in seclusion every day and finally broke through to the Void Piercing Realm one after another.
Now, he was at the Fifth Heaven of the Saint Path. With the Fiery Demon Blade in his hand, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Seventh Heaven of the Saint Path.
Just as he had said, he came to the Yuehua Continent this time for revenge. Not only did he want to kill Ye Chen, but he also wanted to kill anyone related to Ye Chen. He wanted to wash away the humiliation with blood!
"How long have I been in seclusion?" Yan Mo glanced at the people behind him and asked as his aura eased a little.
"Half a month," one of them answered immediately.
"A few days ago, the experts of my tribe arrived in Thunder City. The team of experts of the Sun God Tribe led by Hua Chensha also arrived early. Of the three God Tribes, only the Deity Tribe has not made any moves yet," another person said, reporting the situation of the past few days.
"The Deity Tribe suffered the most losses in the Heavenly Blood Sacred Mansion. This time, they besieged Luna because they wanted to get a share of the loot. They won't put in too much effort. However, I heard that Hua Chensha has a lot of hatred for Ye Chen."
Yan Mo murmured. He wasn't stupid. On the surface, this besiegement was to help the Dark Region to destroy Luna, but the ultimate goal was Ye Chen.
In the past year, Ye Chen had gone to the Ice Flower Continent and the Wood Flower Continent, accumulating a lot of fame and treasures. As long as they could kill him, there would be endless benefits for any side.
"Ye Chen is very loyal. As long as we can capture a few people alive and use them as blackmail, even if he is far away in the Wood Flower Continent, he will rush back immediately. It seems that Ye Chen won't be able to escape this time," Yan Mo said with a cold smile, his voice even more arrogant.
"Is that so?" Just as Yan Mo was speaking, a rumbling voice sounded.
Two air-breaking sounds resounded. Then, two silhouettes broke through the night sky and appeared in front of Yan Mo under everyone's bewildered gazes.
These two figures, one old and one young, were wearing long black robes. The corners of their mouths carried smiles as they looked at Yan Mo's group with mocking gazes.
"Ye Chen!" Yan Mo's eyes suddenly trembled. Looking at the familiar voice in front of him, his body began to tremble slightly.
This trembling wasn't out of fear, but out of excitement and ecstasy.
He had waited for an entire year, thinking about killing Ye Chen day and night. Now, Ye Chen had appeared in front of him. This kind of feeling made Yan Mo feel as if he had never expected it to happen.
"It's been a long time. I didn't expect Young Lord Yan to still remember me.
It's an honor. "Ye Chen chuckled. There was a lot of information about Yan Mo in Hua Lang's memory. Ye Chen simply came to Snow City to meet Yan Mo.
However, he didn't expect that Yan Mo had become stronger after the trip to the Heavenly Blood Sacred Mansion. His strength and temperament had improved tremendously. No wonder he was the strongest genius of the Fire God Tribe.
"Stupid guy, you actually came to die. Attack!"
Seeing Ye Chen appear, the experts of the Fire God Tribe burst out with murderous intent. Their bodies flickered and they were about to attack Ye Chen.
"Wait!" However, Yan Mo stopped them.
He took a step forward, looked straight into Ye Chen's pitch-black eyes, and said, "Leave Ye Chen's life to me, no one is to interfere. As for the other person, you can do whatever you want."
There was only murderous intent in Yan Mo's eyes. He completely ignored Xuanyuan Xiu.
"Interesting."
Ye Chen gave Xuanyuan Xiu a look. Xuanyuan Xiu immediately understood. He smiled helplessly and stepped forward, immediately flying into the vast snowy mountain.
"Chase!" The experts of the Fire God Tribe released their True Origin and hurriedly chased after Xuanyuan Xiu.
As for Yan Mo, they weren't too worried. Now, Yan Mo was very strong. Even among the Fifth Sky of the Saint Path, he was considered the top.
It was impossible for Ye Chen to win against Yan Mo.
Moreover, they all knew Yan Mo's style. The reason he worked so hard to cultivate was because of Ye Chen. Even in his dreams, he wanted to take Ye Chen's life.
Now, the opportunity was in front of them. Even if the Fire God Tribe's leader came personally, he couldn't stop Yan Mo.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of the air breaking became more and more indistinct. In the vast Snow City, only the wind was left raging, rolling up clouds of dust.
The two people in the void stared at each other. Their murderous intent unconsciously spread out from their bodies, causing the entire space to freeze and countless cracks to appear.
When Ye Chen and Yan Mo first met in the Qinwu Dynasty, Yan Mo had regarded Ye Chen as his archenemy and must kill him.
In the Heavenly Blood Sacred Mansion, he had lost, and it was a crushing defeat.
